Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters, Winchester

Tour is well worth the time and money. My party was with one other couple. Tour guide was accommodating to the needs of everyone. (e.g. time constraint, physical needs). Pictures are not allowed outside the gift shop because much of what you see is exactly the way it was in the 19th century.

Tour guide was awesome, made it feel really personable, as if it was just one history buff talking to another history buff, versus the "listing a bunch of memorized facts" appeal. Probably one of the best tours I've been on this week (my travels this week have also included museums in New Market and Lexington).

After spending my week in 'The Valley' and touring all of General Jackson's historical sights as well as many others (CSA White House, Jackson's Lexington Home, Grave) I thought by comparison this small pit stop on my way home wouldn't stand up to that in which I had just spent my week visiting. I was absolutely wrong. The small-personal tour that had just 5 of us within the group was one of the most informative tours that I had been on all week. I had learned of Jackson's time in Winchester and facts that I'd never known, while, seeing Jackson relics that would make the National Park Service envious of what is to be found within this house. The prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff was full of knowledge, and very polite. I felt very welcome and without a doubt got my monies worth. The grounds itself and home were very well up kept, with lot's of tender, love, and care. The tour was short but well worth what you are getting to see, photos inside are not allowed. It was one of the best museums that I had ever been in and anyone who is genuinely curious or a fan of "Stonewall" has not completed a journey regarding the man without a stop into this home. A highly encouraged place to visit, enjoy, and donate so that this home can keep in operation for many years to come.

Incredible site and incredible tour! Well worth the $5 (per person) price of admission. The roughly 45 minute tour is informative and very interesting. The home has 5 rooms downstairs, 3 rooms upstairs, and is filled with incredible artifacts from the war, from Stonewall’s life, and from the history of the home. A lot of furniture and household items that Stonewall used are in the home which makes it all the more impressive.

This lovely mansion museum is located in downtown Winchester in the northern part of the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District. The house was originally built by Lewis T Moore an ancestor of the famous TV movie actress Mary Tyler Moore. She donated money to replicate the gold gilt wallpaper in the room that General Thomas Stonewall Jackson used as his headquarters office during the Civil War from November 1861 through March 11th 1862. Our tour guide was amazing and well worth the $10 admission fee [senior discount available :-)].
